What: PeaceKeeper Cause-Metics Eco-Easy Nail Polish Remover. Made entirely from sugar beets, rosemary, and spearmint, this nail polish remover promises to do its job with no chemicals, no acetone, no “nasty” odor (all you smell is spearmint and a hint of rosemary), no GMOs, biodegradable, and vegan.

How: Apply polish remover to cotton ball. Hold on nail for 30 seconds to soften the polish, then rub until polish is removed.

Pros: Besides all the reasons above? Well, it truly has no foul odor, just a clean, minty. Don’t get me wrong – it is a strong scent – but it won’t give you a headache or make your throat hurt. It doesn’t leave my skin puckered or my nails brittle. And yes, it actually removes the polish…

Cons: …but not that well. After the 30 seconds of “softening,” you are in for a good minute of rubbing. Per nail. The whole process took me about 25 minutes, and even then, there was still a hint or staining on my nails and fingers (I was wearing dark, dark red polish).

Bonus: PeaceKeeper pays fair wages, does not test on animals, and is the first cosmetics company to donate all of its after-tax, distributable profits to various women’s health and human rights foundations.

Cost: At $10 per 4oz. bottle, it won’t break the bank. Until you remember that you can get twice as much for $2 for the chemical laden stuff.

Verdict? Worth it. It’s a little pricier, and a little more time-consuming, but not getting sick while using it trumps the cons.
